Synopsis

Big Battle is a one-shot OVA set after the climax of the original Votoms storyline, but before the epilogue at the end of the series itself. With the Gilgamesh and Balarant forces still trying to advance their PS programs, Chirico and his old friends are forced into one last gladiatorial battle against a special PS and a formidable land battleship.

The Big Battle OVA is enjoyable from start to finish. I'm surprised it doesn't even reach a 7 when it comes to average ratings, but good taste doesn't grow on trees.

With Fyana being present, those who have finished AT VOTOMS know that there is still something ...

AlI right, I thought this OVA was going to be dumb with this kind of name.

There was nothing new learned about the world from this and it seemed completely pointless and the action was extremely boring.

People watch this show for mech on mech combat not to see a mech fighting some giant Star Wars kind of mobile crawler.

This ...
